Purpose and fitment for BMW E87

The presented headrest is a rear seat component designed for installation in the BMW E87, with the option to be used on both the left and right sides. By maintaining the factory mounting geometry and shape, the component allows for precise alignment with the backrest and other seat elements without the need for structural modifications. Such fitment is particularly important for post-accident repairs, replacing worn upholstery elements, or restoring the interior to a condition close to the original equipment.

Material and Alaska Grey faux leather color scheme

The Alaska Grey faux leather finish ensures consistency with the factory upholstery variants used in the BMW E87. The grey tone facilitates integration with door panels, the headliner, and other interior elements, creating a uniform, organized passenger space. The material used is easy to maintain, allowing for the quick removal of typical operational dirt and helping to keep the rear seat row looking aesthetic for a longer period.

Function in the rear seating area

The rear seat headrest serves an important functional role, improving support for the upper back and head of passengers. Installation in the rear of the vehicle, with the ability to be used on both sides, allows for:

• replacing a missing element after changing the backrest or the entire bench,
• restoring full functionality of the rear seat row after mechanical damage,
• maintaining a consistent visual line of the upholstery in the rear cabin area.

As a result, the component is a practical solution for both individual users and service centers specializing in BMW interior repairs.

Characteristics of the used element

The element comes from the secondary market, which means it is a used part that retains functionality suitable for further use. Such components are often chosen for economical interior repairs when the priority is compliance with the manufacturer's original specifications and cost control. A used rear seat headrest allows for a rational combination of OEM quality with a favorable budget for cabin repair or modernization.

How to safely select a used part for your car

When selecting upholstery elements for a BMW, it is worth paying attention to the body version compatibility, rear bench configuration, and interior color scheme.
